Jungkook POV
twenty minutes before
"I'm gonna go up to bed now" I mumble after another difficult dinner with my parents. She doesn't say anything, obviously still annoyed because I rejected Mina in front of both their parents. I sigh and stand up. "It's not my fault. I never liked her to begin with" I say. My father grabs my wrist tightly. "Do not speak to your mother in that way. We both think you should be in a relationship now. You need to pull your head out of the stars and start growing up, young man. Do I make myself clear?" he says sternly. I nod and leave, slowly going up the stairs.
Flopping down on my bed, I grab my phone and login into my social media. Just as I'm about to check out Namjoon's new post, my screen starts flickering. "What the hell?" I say, propping myself up with one elbow. The screen goes black for a moment and the first thought that comes into my head is whether my phone is broken or not.
Then the screen lights up again, with a single notification that reads: Park Jimin is now speaking with you.
There on my screen, frowning slightly, with ruffled golden hair and puffy pink lips, is Park Jimin. The Park Jimin. "Jimin....is that you?" I whisper, barely able to comprehend what just happened.
Jimin POV
currently
Holy crap it worked, is the first thought that comes to my head. Jungkook looks back at me with dark, wide eyes and a slightly agape expression. I bit my lip, unsure with what to say.
"Hi" I find myself saying before mentally face palming. What kind of introduction is that, the kid thinks you're from North Korea! "Wow.......you're hot" he replies. I cough, surprised at what he just boldly said. I rub the back of my head and laugh nervously.
"That's not what you really say when you meet someone for the first time" I say. Jungkook laughs before frowning.
"I thought.....shit, I'm sorry Jimin. I said really mean stuff and I only said that because I was sure you were some pervy old city guy out to get me and my ass and-" Jungkook starts, words flowing out of his mouth like a torrent. I lean back in shock; the whole situation is shocking. "Woah there, Kook. Its fine, I get it that you didn't trust me. But can you trust me now?" I ask. Jungkook looks like he's thinking before he nods.
"Also, I bet your ass isn't great at all. Mine's better" I say. Jungkook scoffs and leans back against the headboard of his bed. "Sure Jiminie....so where are you really from? And no bullshitting me with that NK nonsense. I know for a fact you're not from there" he says. I shake my head and smile. "I never said anything, that was all you honey." I say, wanting to steer the topic away from where I was in comparison to where he was, which was approximately 384,400 kilometres away.
"Whatever. Tell me then, I wanna know if we can meet up irl anytime soon.....not that you're cool to hang out with. I just need to get out of the house as much as possible" he admits. I roll my eyes and sigh. Its inevitable for him to find out, might as well get it over and done with. "The centre where I live is a couple of miles away from the Copernicus crater.......on the moon" I say. There's silence as Jungkook just looks at me and I feel my stomach turn in twists.
I want Jungkook to believe me. I need him to.
Jungkook POV
I can't believe I'm actually considering what Jimin has said. It shouldn't make sense, none of what he said should make sense. Not the whole his-parents-took-him-along-with-them-n-a-space-mission-to-run-a-new-research-centre crap. Definitely not any of it.
But I wants to believe Jimin, something inside me wants to think that he is telling the truth. So I find myself searching up scientists Park Yoojung and Park Seongwon. Surely enough,article,after article talk about how their crew were the first to go to the Moon with the intent of long term stay. That was eighteen years ago, when Jimin must have been four years old. August 1999: Busan scientists take off for the new world, Park Seongwon and Yoojung lead the way to a new frontier of science; the headlines all flashed across Jungkook's vision. There was only one small mention of their young son but the article stated that their son would stay on Earth.
So why was Jimin up there and not down here?
a/n i'm cringing at how messy this chapter was and this book. hopefully i'll get time to edit. also its in first person because I thought that it would show their emotion more for this scene.
a/n 2: sorry i'm reupdating some chapters because there are spelling mistakes. please bare with me!
